Oh, well what's the point of that? Might as well just give them money, as the WMF would just be purchasing those ISP services from someone else anyway.
"Geni" mentioned "offering a level of support equivalent to our smaller projects", which is most definitely *not* "just providing ISP services".
Yep, better offer them a short-term grant to cover hosting costs than deal with ethical and legal issues.
I like this idea best.
WMF are running a huge fundraising appeal now. We can easily spare $2100 in order to pay for their current hosting arrangements for the next three months, which should give them sufficient time to get themselves back on their feet again.
